An Introduction to Jesus - Prophecy Concerning Jesus: Part 2 of 13

Preview: This series of lessons is dedicated as an introduction to Jesus. This is the second in a thirteen-part series of lessons on this subject.


Scripture Reading: Proverbs 8:22-30.

Memory Verse: John 8:58.

1. Do we find in the foregoing Scriptures that Jesus was with God the Father before the creation of the earth?
2. How does the Scripture Reading (Proverbs 8:22-30) compare it to John 1:1-5?
Note: The writers of Proverbs and St. John were inspired through the Holy Spirit to testify to the same thing, although both writers lived many years apart.
3. What did Israel prophecy concerning the birth of Jesus? Isaiah 7:14-16.
4. How was this prophecy fulfilled hundreds of years later? Matthew 1:16-23.
5. How did Joseph respond to this message? Matthew 1:24-25.
Note: Joseph knew the message was from God because he knew what the prophets had foretold. Today we can only know what spirit is speaking if we know the Word!
6. Compare what the prophets and the apostles had to say concerning the birthplace of Jesus. Micah 5:2 & Luke 2:4 & Luke 2:6-7.
7. What was Balaam’s vision concerning the Kingship of Jesus? Numbers 24:1-4 & Numbers 24:16-19.
Note: Balaam made this prophecy in the 13th century before Christ.
8. What did the wise men of the east say about its fulfillment hundreds of years later? Matthew 2:1-2.
9. Consider Solomon’s prophetic description of Jesus many years before His birth. Discuss. Proverbs 8:14-30.
10. How did he explain Christ’s relationship to man? Proverbs 8:31-36.
Note: Solomon foretold the character and mission of Jesus hundreds of years before it came to pass. No other religion can foretell what is going to happen hundreds of years ahead.
